Import Tips
• Engraving details must be documented; excessive decoration could shift classification toward jewelry-like articles
• Batch test silver fineness randomly, as alloy rules in Chapter Note 5 require predominant silver content over 2%
• Avoid common error of grouping with gold-handled items, which fall under different precious metal subheadings
